Massey Ferguson 600 series

The register lists here five versions with 50 to 70 kW from four- or six-cylinder engines of 3,860 to 5,797 cm³ displacement, torque from 270 to 354 Nm, lift capacities from 1,800 to 3,700 kg, unladen weights from 3,030 to 4,075 kg, lengths from 3,910 to 4,240 mm and heights from 2,660 to 2,750 mm at rated speeds of 2,000 to 2,200 rpm.

In this power class the 600 series competed with comparable ranges from Ford, David Brown/Case and John Deere, serving as a versatile field tractor for medium and larger farms, some with four-wheel drive and a cab in higher trim.

When buying used, the condition of the turbocharger and charge-air ducting on the Turbo models, the clutch and gearbox, hydraulic tightness and corrosion on the cab frame and wings matter; engine and wear parts are available through the AGCO parts network for Massey Ferguson. For contractors and larger arable farms, the range offered an economical alternative to the even larger tractors from competitors. Cab mounts and exhaust systems are also worth checking for corrosion after years of field use.
